SWITCH

switch

In the Tribeca 2026 television series Switch, two eager and very different women begin a relationship. Maxine is pragmatic and slightly guarded. Lena is full-speed-ahead passionate. Together, they perfectly balance each other. To ramp up the already existing spice, they deep dive into their sexual fantasies. Agreeing that labels are so passe, and since neither desires to remain monogamous for life, the search for a man to have a threesome with is officially on.
 
Sexy shenanigans ensue as each potential partner has his flaws. But Naxine and Lena will be damned if they don’t keep trying.
 
Coral Peña is charming, sarcastic, and quirky as Maxine. Pauline Chalamet is intense but sweet playing Lena. Their chemistry is genuinely fun. They share an authentic comic timing, the kind that comes when you’re actual friends or lovers. Writers and creators Isabelle Platt and Sofya Levitsky-Weitz deliver an equally sexy, funny, and appropriately cringeworthy series. I want more, no matter how awkward.

TERRESTRIAL

Opening with a bang, Steve Pink‘s Fantasia 2025 film, TERRESTRIAL, has landed. It follows a sci-fi writer who is about to fulfill his dreams with a book and movie deal. Alan invites his college friends to his new mansion in the Hollywood Hills to celebrate his good fortune, but something feels off.

In his driveway, stands a large, striped termite-tented structure. Alan is seemingly obsessed with checking on it. There is no denying Alan’s overall behavior feels body-snatched, from moment to moment. He is hiding something big. End of Act 1, twenty-nine minutes in, and holy shit, a WTF moment.

The house contains an entire room dedicated to his favorite sci-fi series and writer, S. J. Purcell. It is all very H. P. Lovecraft coded. The classic television show becomes an ingrained part of Alan’s personality and plan. Screenwriters Connor Diedrich and Samuel Johnson feature the episodes running in the background, often informing Alan’s decision-making.

The three-act structure keeps you guessing. A flashback sets up a wild and wacky backstory, putting every assumption you have in jeopardy. Each subsequent decision Alan makes is born out of desperation and delusion. It is pure, heart-pounding, cinematic chaos.

Brendan Hunt is hilarious as Purcell. His character is undeniably shady, and Hunt nails each beat. His chemistry with Jermaine Fowler is magic. James Morosini (I LOVE MY DAD) plays absolute douch-canoe, Ryan. Harboring major jealousy and an inferiority complex, his aggressive approach pushes Alan to his breaking point.

Edy Modica, who killed it in JURY DUTY, plays Vic. She is hilarious with her self-absorbed approach to the visit. Upon discovering a mysterious note, Modica’s motivation shifts, really showcasing her immense talent.

Jermaine Fowler (STING and THE DROP) plays Alan with a passionate, fanboy enthusiasm that is infectious. You fall in love with him while simultaneously fearing his ever-evolving manic behavior. This performance is a multifaceted freight train propelled by panic and survival mode. It is award-worthy.

The synth score is perfect. At times, the camerawork is reminiscent of Psycho. The film gets darker and more twisted in its final act. TERRESTRIAL is completely unhinged and out of this world amazing.
